“Since 1984, BridgePort Brewing has been brewing delicious beer in a sustainable manner. Over the years, we’ve implemented multiple programs in order to reduce waste, reduce power usage, and reuse materials. We use current technology to aid in reducing water consumption for the brewery and BrewPub. Partnering with Oregon Brewshed® Alliance was an easy decision and all of us at BridgePort Brewing are excited to aid in protecting our clean water source in Oregon.”

BridgePort Brewing

About: Oregon’s oldest craft brewery continues to evolve from a microbrewery to a regional leader committed to producing high-quality craft ales. Lead by Brewmaster Jeff Edgerton, the team of BridgePort brewers prides itself on using local hops and clear glacial water from Mount Hood. The BridgePort family of ales includes the STUMPTOWN Series, BridgePort IPA, Hop Czar Imperial IPA, Kingpin, and seasonal offerings.

Sustainability

It doesn’t matter who you are. You can’t live in Portland without living sustainably. Coincidentally, we believe brewing has an inherently sustainable side: heat exchangers are integral to the brewing process, and we re-use heat within the building. Our malts and bottles come from eight miles away. Spent grain and yeast are used as feed at a local dairy. We compost. We recycle. We keep a small footprint. Brewing is one of the many ways nature is nice to us. We try to be nice in return.
